Episode notes
Meaning of Zoe Life
- "Zoe" in Greek describes a quality of life from God that begins now and lasts forever.
- It's not just biological life but eternal life with inner satisfaction and abundance.
Light Shines in Darkness
- The darkness didn't comprehend or overcome the light, meaning people didn't understand or accept Jesus.
- Jesus is like a flashlight in fog that some try to eliminate because the light blinds them.
John the Baptist's Unique Life
- John the Baptist was miraculously born to aged parents, Zacharias and Elizabeth, and filled with the Holy Spirit from womb.
- He was different, possibly a lifelong Nazarite, dedicated to God's purpose with strict lifestyle.
